You didn't. Games were designed around those three options that I posted. No game slipped between them. It was a controller that provided different ways to play.

How much of your minds would be blown if Sakurai showed off Wonder-Red as a super-secret newcomer at the end
Yes this pretty much. I'm fine with using it for Smash, but the controller is really too unconventional for anything else. It's too clunky.

That would get nothing more than a "neat" from me.
I'd expect swooning and fainting from anyone who knows of their existence, mild confusion from everyone else, and continued whining from K. Rool, Ridley and Mewtwo supporters.
I was slightly bummed out when I didn't see the slash and fire of the Smash logo.
much like how the Wii had just the wiimote, wiimote+nunchuck, and horizontal.
Oh wait I probably shouldn't have mentioned that controller(even though I did like it)

Just because other people like the character doesn't mean I have to enjoy her inclusion in the roster. I mean, I would be happy for those that wanted her in, but I would rather have another SEGA character if they had to put another one in. Why should you care if I don't want her in?

How would it not blow your mind
If Wonder-Red was shown off, it would mean that trophy reveals can no longer be used as disconfirmation of a character!

Tables would be upended.

The latter fact would be more for blowing my mind than Wonder Red himself actually.
Just beat W101 recently and while I enjoyed it. I definitely didn't like it as much as the rest of GAF it seems.

I'm not a fan of w101 myself
Are you guys seriously expecting Bayo to be a playable character?
Pre-order cancelled!

I don't even like Bayonetta, I'm just watching to see if anyone goes "AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY UNRELATED"
Would need some time to compile and process everything in my head
I hope Bayonetta replaces Dark Pit.
Either way, there's a set amount of buttons on the controller and giving you access to only a part of the controller at a time limits how you can control the game. Even if the games were designed around that aspect, it's still a bad idea.

I want Wonder-Red for these reasons:
1. Wonder-Red would bring us the newest series to appear in Smash with a playable character.
2. Wonder-Red could have a really cool moveset (maybe even be accompanied by others).
3. Wonderful 101 was very fun.
4. Trophy deconfirmation is no longer a thing, and thus it can't stifle discussion.

Not as stupid as witch who uses her hair for clothing.
I don't mean to question your decision, but I find it odd that you mentioned only playing Brawl 2 or 3 times, right before saying you enjoy games with more "franchise accurate" experiences and less mindless fighting. Because that sounds exactly like what Brawl's Subspace Emissary mode is! A fleshed out campaign mode full of great scenes mixing the best Nintendo characters interacting with each other to defeat a common threat.
It might not be the absolute best execution-wise, but if you really didn't play it, you really might want to check it out as it sounds right up your alley
I personally like great party games, which Smash most definitely is. In fact, I bet I would love it even if it wasn't Nintendo characters fighting. My friends and I have tons of fun playing it and that's my main purchase reason. So, if you're not a big fan of mindless party games or prefer more fleshed out single player experiences, I can totally see why you'd feel Smash isn't for you, and worry about all the fan service sucking you in for a game you won't actually like.
Thanks for this, FB. I really appreciate your thoughts. I might want to check out SSE at some point since as you surmised I don't know that I played really any of it when I dipped my toe into the Brawl waters. Anyway, thank you for your considered reply and I'm sure I'll be seeing you as always in plenty of other threads.

Don't worry, you'll see me in more Skyward Sword threads soon!
